How I Celebrated

I didn't forget! I had this filmed for a while, but did not have time to edit and upload because of all the errands I had after work and then a super important online tea party that I was co hosting, so I couldn't be late!Anyways, these are dollar store bought croissants, they taste like they are just puff pastries you roll up. I don't know if there is much of a difference between the two, but I know that I would have loved for them to be flakier. Still, any carbs are delicious carbs.

Diet Helpers 

• Sugar Free

  This recipe uses stevia instead of sugar. The picture looks great, but I wonder how different they are just because I thought that sugar helps to activate yeast

• Gluten Free

  This recipe is gluten free and sugar free, but they don't look very flaky, more like rolls. Good luck finding one with a good texture!

• Vegetarian

  Yes

History

Punchbowl
Did not know it was Austrian, totally thought it was 100% French. I feel like everyone has better pastries than America. But also, I don't go to fancy bakeries.

Merchandise

Very cute, very French
